Chapter 68: The Red Festival (23)
early morning
It was raining in the sky, and compared to the heavy rain just now, the rain of this magnitude could not stop the pace of the arrival of the sunny day, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the wet ghost weather would pass.
Now Qing was sitting under a big tree with Iger and the man, eating breakfast and talking about his next move.
"Anyway, you're really a wreck! It's just because I've been exposed that I have no hope of living?! I really don't know how to say hello----"
Egger ate the golden fish that had been roasted, and looked at the man in front of him with disdain, and the man also lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qing and Egger.
"Egger! In fact, this situation is not something that he can afford as an ordinary person! Besides, even if I were to encounter this situation, I wouldn't be able to stand it! “
Qing said and gnawed on the half-raw fish in his hand, almost didn't spit it out, and depressedly put the fish back on the fire to grill.
Qing looked at the fish that was roasted back on the fire, and remembered that Qing had decided to help the man fulfill his ideals. I asked him about why it was chased and killed by the city guards, and the man didn't hide it and told him honestly.
The incident was that in the process of connecting with the city, the man was caught by the soldiers who had been ambushed by King Taluch for a long time. Under the persecution of King Taruki, the man watched the rebels who fought for the nation die painfully one by one on the stakes, and he watched his friends who encouraged him to live being tortured to death. And he was left for the last execution, and the already tortured man always thought that as long as he died, he would find peace. However, although Martha's appearance gave him a chance to live, with Martha's help, the man was not executed by King Taluch on a stake trip.
He survived, but he had lost hope. The rebels in the city were wiped out, and his friend's body was hung on the city walls, and although he was saved by Martha, he no longer had the courage to meet her. Hopes were completely shattered, and in the end, the devastated man was once again helped by Martha, who, on charges of treason, took the man out of Saxonburg when the king was out hunting. But King Taluch is a king who is well versed in tactics, and he is not only a king, but also a good general! He had long expected his daughter to rebel against him again, so he had prepared an elite team before he went out hunting.
The team was perfectly hidden at the exit of the castle under the king's arrangement, waiting for the princess and the man to leave the castle and capture the princess, and then take the man to the forest outside the castle to be executed.
In the same way, a good father will always have an excellent daughter. King Taluch never expected that the princess would leave the castle with a maid dressed like a man, while the real man reproached Martha for carefully arranging the ox cart as she prepared to leave the city. Before parting, Martha told the man many times that she must live! Although we may not be able to see each other in the future, Martha always says that she doesn't care what he does, and what she wants is for him to live well----
He, a loser, bet everything he had on this gamble. But he failed again. A heavy blow, a strong sense of guilt, a love that can never be repaid, a helplessness to reality, a disillusionment, an attachment to goodbye, a despair of life ahead! These are what Qing learned while chatting with the man.
"Humph! That's why I say he's a wreck! “
Egger ate the fish in one gulp, spitting out the bones one by one. Iger is right, a nest is a nest, and not daring to face the reality is a nest.
"Isn't it because of you that the rebels in the city have been annihilated? Aren't the people in those places outside the city still suffering from a high degree of work, do you think that if you die, you will be gone? Are you kidding!! Didn't you say you wanted revenge? Have you forgotten what that Martha said to you?! There is hope to live! All that awaits is death! It's not going to fall right out of the sky and just hit you on the head--- huh! What are you doing? “
Egg looked back at Qing who was patting it, curious as to why Qing had interrupted it.
Qing saw Egger turn around, smiled awkwardly with the man, lowered his body to Egger's ear, and whispered.
"--Egger--- Actually, we just hit him on the head, and then we rescued him-----"
"------- ---- seems to be yes---- we sent it to the door ourselves-----"
Suddenly, Egger coughed deeply, not caring about the embarrassment just now, picking up another fish and continuing to roast it, his eyes looking directly at the man in front of him.
"You think I just said!"
Egg snorted, not giving the man time to speak.
"That's just your luck! I met that Martha before, and now I meet this rotten good person! “
Egg patted Qing beside him as he spoke, and Qing's face instantly changed color. Although Qing wants to say that he is a knight, everything Qing does is to get closer to the image of the tall knight in his heart, and even Qing believes that he will one day become such a tall knight, and then save this world tormented by war, and then show off his glorious history in front of Li!
"Don't care about this retarded--- all knights in the world are like this, out-and-out idiots!"
Egg turned his head away from Ao's stupid expression and looked back at the man who was listening intently to it. He could see the flame of hope burning in the man's eyes, and the clear eyes that penetrated his heart. Egg stroked his forehead.
"Looks like I'm missing something--- but, forget it! Seeing you like this, there is basically nothing wrong with you! “
Egg looked back at Qing, who was still making a fool, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
"Anyway, you really have two brushes-----------"
After Egger let out a sigh, he habitually looked at the green grilled fish, and as expected, it was already baked again.
"It's still not a long memory---- as always"
Iger said that he put the grilled fish in front of Qing, and Qing would never allow this kind of thing to be lost, so even if Qing was unpalatable, Qing would eat it at all.
"Oh! Thank you----- ahhhh ---There's really no way---"
Qing came back to his senses and took the fish from Egger, staring blankly at the coke substance in his hand. Although the corners of her eyes twitched wildly, Qing was not surprised, or she was used to it.
"Yes! Hurry up and eat! ----“
Iger continued Qing's words.
"There's no reason to tell people to eat this kind of stuff quickly!"
Qing took the scorched fish in his hand and shook it vigorously in front of Egger, expressing why he always ate these strange things when eating, it tasted bad, and it tasted like mud!
"You didn't bake it yourself! According to the rules of the jungle, eat your own food! The law of the jungle can only limit animals crawling on the ground with four feet! “
"What are you talking about, bastard! What a four-legged creature crawling on the ground?! It's obviously two feet good! And who said that except for the four-legged one who eats the weak, the other species are not the same! “
"But that doesn't include demonicism! Demons are not comparable to creatures like animals! We have wisdom that is superior to you! “
"Oh~! Come on! Stupid birds are stupid birds that will never understand what you don't know. It's just pedantic! “
"What do you say! Do you want to fight, you guy! “
"Yes! If you want to fight, I'll accompany you at any time, just let the horse come! “
The man who had been sitting on the side eating fish silently watched Qing and Egger's daily quarrel calmly, although it looked like he was about to face each other, but Qing and Egger would always tacitly grasp the balance, just like quarrels are the seasoning in ordinary life, which can make light and colorful. ----------
"Whew~ No, I won't play anymore~ I can't stand it early in the morning~"
"Huha~Huha~ Yes, I really can't stand it, I just --- full"
"Ah~I haven't eaten yet~"
Qing was the first to lose, and for Egg, who has an unknown number of years of accumulation, quarreling is Egger's forte. The defeated Qing had to sit down obediently and eat coke, or Qing could only eat coke even if he didn't quarrel. ----------
After a busy time, Qing finally ate the fish like mud and sat by the fire to boil the river water.
At this time, Egger suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Qing, who was calmly drinking hot tea
"What's next? -----“
